about Crouching Altair first4figures statue

[heroludor]

i will try to retrieve the email, i was not the sender it was another person, they replied they make around 2000 and gave to ubisoft.
what i was saying about extralife is that they got some (i don't know how) and sold them for 35 euro, this is sure because many people bought them from there, i have friends in spain who did, i did not because i was not a collectionist of AC yet, dont even got ps3 in that time.
Anyway i will retrieve the email, dunno how to show it to you, will try to make a screenshot but i can anyway tell you, for sure, this is not a 100 limited edition statue, and surely don't cost 1500-2000 dollars.
My purpose was only to inform that there are a lot of speculators that want to cheat peoples and to aware them, anyway do as you prefer.

We are in agreement that far more than 100 statues were made

The best information we had prior to your statements was F4F stating that 1000 were made so the email is important because it should add evidence that 2000 were actually produced

It is very interesting to hear that some Spanish friends of yours actually bought the statue from extralife as we've didn't have anyone to confirm it because no one on here managed to buy one

Please post a pic of the email if possible

Thanks

Crazy that they've been selling consistently for over $1,000! That's what they're worth though, I guess. Supply and demand.

Assuming there are 2,000 out there, that's still pretty low I think; and therefore I don't see how asking $1,000 for the figure would be unreasonable. Hell, there are probably 2,000 AC collectors here at CE.org alone, lol.

Regardless of what someone may ask for the figure, it's still selling for over 1k. Unless supply rises and/or people stop paying those high prices, I think prices are gonna either stay at their current point or continue to climb.

Yeah not much difference between 1,000 and 2,000... I know it is double but still as opposed to how many want them it is still very few.

Really like Mortal said that is what they are worth because people are willing to pay that.

Although from some of the auctions I have seen the bidders are fed false info on most them so this is also fueling the bids.

With how much stuff AC has... I am so glad I don't collect for it, amazingly glad.

[smitty2011]

This is how I see this..these where going for about $200-$300 around September as I remember bidding for a few.. then two clowns went crazy bidding for one around October / November so once all the people that had this item jumped on the bandwagon and they were flying up on ebay like no tomorrow..but they sold. So everyone now assumes thats the going rate for this item

[flatout]

I truly hate to point this out, but if they are selling for that now then that IS the going rate (at least on eBay, but this will define others as well because of what they could get on eBay).

Regardles of wether 100,1000 or 2000 were made,the reality is there still appears to be very few that come up for sale for whatever reason. Also,very few that do come up still have the original box with them,most boxes were simply thrown away & thought of as useless or pointless in keeping. This is the same with alot of what are now collectable type items such as N64 games etc. You then also have to factor in that there will be a portion of these that ended up being thrown away & considered at the time a useless or worthless item. I have seen emails posted from different places & so far they all seem to say different things. What is known that will be 100% acurate is these were made before the licence was revoked,what will forever be disputed by different peoples dispite any supposed facts or emails is everything else.

Well I think this came about when the rumour went out that were only 100 made not 1000-2000? But I understand supply and demand as Mortal and Hippee mentioned

Ok i made an error, I was sure it was around 2000 but it is not, in fact mathika was right it's around 1000, i asked to the guy who contacted them to come here to post the email, i think he will do it soon.
ANYWAY, the important matter is that there is no 100 of statues and if u read that on the description when u want to buy it simply ignore them, because it's FALSE and want only to speculate.
I think the proper price for a rare item like this is around 300-400 euro (dunno in dollars but little more) maximum! even if it's not official.

Now your saying these werent official. Well your wrong,if they werent official then the 10 inch Altair figure wouldnt have been made,some of the crouching Altair wouldnt have been gifted to Ubisoft emplyees & lastly you would find some evidence on the net somewhere of Ubisoft sueing first 4 figures for fraud or whatever. I think before you start a thead about something that has a history of rumour as well as speculation you should have all the facts in your hand at that point in time not afterwards & definately not change your story half way through. You have already changed what you have said once because your facts werent straight,what else will change.
